Starting to *think* about mavenizing the felix build. Notice that the framework only has one third-party jar dependency -- kxml.jar.
I am not against using Maven, but I figured we would wait for an official Maven 2 release.
What version is this? Looks like maybe something from the 1.x series, perhaps 1.2.1? Is there a reason for not using the 2.x series versions? If we need to continue to use 1.x, do you think the Enhydra folks will contribute a build of kxml to ibiblio, named to kxml-1.2.1.jar?
kxml.jar is not used by the framework at all. It is used by the OBR bundle repository bundle. In truth, I would like someone to show me the better way to do what I am doing there. All I really want is a lightweight way to parse the repository XML file and get the data into Java object collection of some sort.
If someone is willing to discuss this with me and do some simple XML coding, then we can either move toward kxml 2.x or to something else altogether if they know a better way.
